Nothing has been of any use. Nothing has been able to overcome the inattention) the shameful unconcern, the sluggish indifference, and ob stinate improvidence of contemporary Europe. She does nos even wish to hear more of the worn-out, interdicted subject, she wished to forget it, t o dri ve it from her thoughts, to avert from it her eyes, which are weary in the pursuit of gain and pleasure. The question is cut short, the Times has recalled its correspondents ; the curtain has dropped. Let us change the subject. The most compassionate, the most generous do as Agar did, who withdrew weeping that she might not witness the agony of her son dying with thirst in the desert. "Et abiit seditque e regione precut qu an t um protest arena jacere ; dixit enim : Non videbo morientern pneru m." But lo I from the midst of thi s f r i g i d s i lence, of this -- uni versal indifference, one voice, and one alone, is lifted up in answer to the cry of Poland in her agony. It is the voice of religion, a voice plaintive, indignant, immortal. He has spoken, who is in the eyes of all, whether friends or foes, whether believers or unbelieaers, the highest personification Vicar of Jesus Christ, the of religion l w ig h io o n di in ed th fo e r w m o e r n id. T upon ktehe Cross, has spoken in behalf of the sacrified nation. An E p eal which is eloquence itself has burst in waves hurrying and breaking one upon another, from the depth of that noble /teed, the heart of Pius IX., the man and the Pontiff, whose indignation and piety have overflowed together. His is no bed of roses who makes it his business to plead for the Catholic cause at the present day. He must be resigned to salness of every kind, he must expect not only outrages and contempt from without, but wretchedness and darkness from within, " foris pugnaa intus timores." We are all called upon,i both great and small, to endure the disappointments, the 'allure s , the defections, the depression, the melancholy discomfitur es which are equally the lot of the most humble soldier and of the most august representative of truth. But on the other hand, when ever and anon truth and justice blaze forth, as lightning does in the darkness of night, borrowing the supernatural strength and authority of religion, what joy beyond com pare is kindled in the soul of the true believer, into what transports of gratitude do Christians break forth! New Italy, or, to speak more correctly, Piedmont, aggrandised by proceedings which bear too close an analogy to those of the spoilers of Poland, barely tries to feign or to affect a cold and wordy sympathy for the great victim of that spirit of usurpation of conquest of which the Piedmontese king dom has become the most guilty personification in Europe. At heart, and in truth, all its sympathies are on the side of Russia, who quickly recognised in the Italy of Victor Emmanuel the ally and imitator of her wicked and plunder ing policy, and they who are best informed upon the sub ject see in the Roman question the point of unity between St. Petersburg and Turin, The self •styled Liberal Govern ment which has stolen the secular patrimony of the Pope, which day by day is throwing bishops and cardinals into prison, which is suppressing religious order in order to con fiscate their patrimonies and to profane their sanctuaries, cannot possibly assist or love, or even understand Poland in a- Pola c n h d: Garibaldi, who has just displayed at Londonw much m enhe wrote acerta in insyhmis rpaaettheyr and with according rdiPolish to c a h u i s s e ,n nature, e a , c tin g address to the Poles on the 28th December, 1863—" Cease to give to your heroic struggle a religious char ac t er ; i t i s depriving you of sympathy, and provokin g a fi erce reac tion against you." It is the weakest, the worst armed of European Sovereigns who alone has done his duty, w h o alone has fulfilled the expectations of generous This is most hearts hearts, amonglisten voicesedtoovtehreeighsis h offeheadjustice and of pi of our religion, the father of our souls 1 It is he who is affording us at this moment the sublime and comforting sight of a protest by the weak against againat t f h a e lse m ho i g od. B mighty, by y thus jus inticpeleaagdaingst iniquity, by truth for Poland Pius IX, has, without perhaps intending or thinking of it, laid before the world the strongest argument in favour of the temporal power of the Papacy. Never has it been more clearly proved that sovereignty is necessary for its perfect independence. In what other way I should like to know can his authority be rendered free and supreme as it must be before us, as it must be in the interest of that justice and truth of which he is our impersonifieation ? Can you imagine a Pope a subject or a paid vassal of the King of Italy; can you imagine him making use of this spirited and generous language in pre sence of a master who is the ally or the accomplice of the oppressor who is to be denounced, of the traitor who is to be unveilled. * * I believe 1 may iairly say, sincerely and calmly, that on the 24th of last April Pope Pius IX, wrote one of the most beautiful pages in the glorious history of the Vicar of Jesus Christ, As a Catholic and as a man I humbly thank him for having paid this honour to our tail and to his own divine authority. I thank him for having shown a heart full of courage and of pity--of what, in other words, the kings, and to speak plainly the men of our time, aro most wanting in. They are not malicious, or at least not so bad as they are sometimes represented to tie; but they have neither couragejagainst the odious triumphs of evil, nor pity for their victims. Pius IX. follows the glorious footsteps of that great man, Pope Clement X 111., who in the 18th cen tury was the only potentate in Europe who protested against the despoilers of Poland, while Voltaire, ws cannot too often repeat it, encouraged and flattered them with all the refines ments of a base adulation, and all the paroxysms of impla cable rage against the Catholic nation, which it was their object to blot out from the land of the living. Pope Pius IX. renews. besides, and confirms the noble attitude of Gregory XVI., the first among the sovereigns of the 19th century who knew how to make head against the Emperor Nicholas, and the only one who reminded him, by his Allocution in 1842, and in a memorable i n t erv i ew o f his duty towards th e P o l es— p ios no, in fact, only per severing in the cour se on which he entered long ago , th e glorious stages of which h e h as already marke d ou t in his Allocution of the 6th o f M arch, 1863, relating to is ile pre conisation of Poliah Bi s h ops ; in his letter of the 22(2 of April, 1863, to Alexand er th e 2d; and; lastly, in hi s pre cepts relating to the procession of the 31st of August, in behalf of unhappy Poland. History will, to the latest ge nerations, recur with emotion to these noble efforts of the , greatest moral power under the sun, No sophistry, no falsehood, no ingratitude will succeed in obliterating from the memory of man this striking contrast between the in trepid and enduring sympathy o f the P opes f or an op pressed nation, and the d esert i on, the shameful or the hos tile indifference which she has met with at the hands of the philosophers of the 18th century, and the politicians of the 19th. * * * Poland has never subverted a le gitimate for national Power, or invaded a neighbouring country. She stands, perhaps, alone in the history of the world as a people that has never made an attempt against the person of a king. At the very time when France was allowing the great revolution of 1789 to end in the Reign of Terror, Poland by virtue of its constiution of the 3d of Mays or was actually attaining by the ees establishment wasishoae hereditaryeipoatntoifaating, and [parliamentary mo narchy, the results which had been arrived at by the pain ful experience of the most enlightened nations.

As for religion ! On this subject the Pope, who is the head and the supreme judge of the religious interests of Catholic Christendom, is at once the most competent and irrefutable witness. It is known that he has received from the most authentic sources a mass of pram lars which are of most grave and serious import, showing that a plan for decatholicising Poland has been followed for a length of time. Hence this cry from the inmost depths of his soul, which has moved and astounded Europe. But, the Poles; of how their apart from these details, which he is doubtless reserving for religion n ane o d f ; their monasteries violated publication, the whole world is informed, and no one can any longer pretend ignorance of the daily assaults made even deprived of their have been driven b y o r v i h o u l e n n g ee ; their into how millions of highest character as coming hence forward peasants flowed spontaneously from Pius IX., ; a word, of all the sacrileges and all the persecutions which have been annos e s bol I L p e hrip i s h i t uohc r hi nr i o s o u t c : I pht a fish a n, e s l es a i i cm as aa nw functions tnprconfiscated c os :;l a oo t o s nn h ts a heae en ddle i i Ba rr° by e y: w i theletdh priestsane Autocrat;admillionsr r carried of nn unced on unexcep tionable Catherine I. 11, at the Council a Clermont, o f the injuries inflicted upon the 3 7 .

Ministerial Shuffling about Denmark, The following is a nearly verbatim translation of the more remarkable passages in that noble paper on the Polish Question by the Count de Alontalem bert, upon which paper we took 0CC9.91011 to com ment at some length in The Sun of Thursday, the 2d instant, immediately after the appearance of the Count's expostulation with all Christendom : When in the night along some storm-beaten coast, a gun which tells of a ship in danger bursts upon the startled ear, in what Christian country do the inhabitants of the coast, deaf to the cry of the sufferers, to the appeal of their fellow creatures, their brothers, remain at home to sleep in peace, or beep awake only to hug themselves in the pleasant sense of security which land and the fireside affords P When in the street or on the high road a cry of distress is heard from some passer-by who is attacked or murdered, what are we to think of those honest folk who, instead of running to the victim's aid, only think of shutting themselves up in their houses, and peep from behind the half-closed shutters to see from afar how the crime is perpetrated ? Yet this is what has been taking place in France, in Europe, during the last 18 months, with this difference that, instead of a ship, it is a whole nation that is being engulphed in a sea of blood, and that it is not in the night, not in the midst of a tempest, nor in the depths of a forest, that the catastrophe is happening, but in a dead calm. It is not a lonely tra veller, nor a caravan of travellers—but a nation, a great Christian nation, which is hemmed in, seized, garotted, despoiled, outraged, and assassinated before our eyes. Eighteen months ago this nation, which a century of un heard of wrongs and skilfully planned oppression could nei ther subdue nor exhaust, fell into the pit which her execu tioners had dug for her. One mighty cry she uttered;to remind the world that she had been buried alive, and did not wish to die. Then disarmed, alone, desperate,with the boldness of despair, she engaged in the struggle which still continues. The victim has exhausted every appeal for human aid. She has invoked one by one, with the most solemn adjurations, civilisation, humanity, the law of nations, modern right, modern ideas, liberty, progress, honour, gratitude, pity, public conscience. She has obtained nothing ;no response has been made to this heart-rending appeal. Modern civi lisation so proud of its progress, of its universal empire, of its marvellous inventions, its popular wonders, has remained dumb and powerless before the monstrous spectacle exhi bited at its very door of the dispossession, mutilation, and butchery of a nation effected, on a system of deliberate hatred in the middle of the 19th century. Civilisation has owned itself conquered by barbarism. Even in that country where liberty flourishes the best, she has done nothing, has availed nothing, has attempted nothing to save a people, one of the first among modern races, whose liberty dates as far back as that of any, and who asks of God and man but the simplest, the most elementary kind of liberty, liberty to live. Modern right, so continually invoked in souse countries, so strangely interpreted and so audaciously applied in others; this right which, if we are to believe its noisiest advocates, authorises a people to get rid of Kings whom it dislikes, without a cause, as in Greece, or for chi merical reasons, as in Naples —this new- fangled right allows an empire more than half Aeiatic to deny and to violate with impunity every ancient right in the case of an European and Christian people, which has fallen a prey to the spoiler after one thousand years of national indepen dence. Humanity proves as helpless as liberty Neither philanthropy uor the increased gentleness of our manners (which:we may so fairly boast ot) and of ou r p ena l l aws, nor that sentimental compassion which is daily called forth by publicity, and expended on real or imaginary mis fortunes, has been of any avail against what seemed too horrible to bo aught but a nightmare, yet has proved a fearful reality—a vampire sucking the life-blood of a weeping victim. Public conscience, too, pity, and gratitude have been forgetful and bikut. In vain did Poland display before our eyes the remembrance of her services and of her Claims, the sight of her wounds and her pangs, she who has (From the Saturday Review.) • • "7 . 1; ' )4 %TT& • • ?Is / - "11: 4 4 4 1 / 4, - - - • :go t • fr' • t. 1 " :p..61 1 • , - - ' ' •••••• - t 1,11, Alt • _ - , Allllol l l l .l6llk B4' ' • I ."- ra. ~./011116 fikk‘ DROrr• , , • • • the unrighteous, lest the just themselves should be tempted to put forth their hand to iniquity.

Like the pro cession of saints in that touching frieze in the Church of St Vincent de Paul left us by Hippolyte Flandrin, the most Christian artist of the day, and the one whose loss is most to be deplored, the army of martyrs is on its march. Calm, sad, resolute, inaccessible to fear, fatigue, or discouragement with every heart turned towards heaven, that army will not halt until it shall have reached its journey's end, when it will sink to rest in the arms of Jesus Christ the Mighty One, the Father and the God of that justice and of *hat mercy which he owes to down-trodden yet invincible Poland. The Channel squadron, which arrived at Plymouth fronf the Downs on the 13th ult., is under orders to leave the sound to-day. All the officers and liberty men were to be on board by 12 last night. The Edgar, Black Prince, Warrior,Prince Consort, and Defence will probably start at eight o'clock. At 11 p.m. last night at Plymouth the wind was southerly and very light. The gunboat Trinculo, tender to Admiral Dacres, will wait until 5 in the afternoon to receive de spatches and pick up stragglers. The squadron proceeds to Spithead, where a steam launch is ready for the flagship. Many of the seamen have relatives at Portsmouth, and they have to remain there a short time. They conclude that if the squadron is not required in the Baltic it will be sent on a summer cruise through St. George's Channel and round Scotland, so as to be back to the south of England in October. Advices from the West India and Pacific station, received by the present snail, report the arrival at Port Royal, Ja maica, on the 11th May, of her Majesty's ship Duncan, bearing the flag of Admiral Sir James Hope, and her departure on the 23d for Havanna. The Royalist also arrived at Port Royal on the 11th ult. Some cases of small pox had occurred on board both vessels, but none in either instance had proved fatal, and all were reported as improv ing. These on board the Duncan were removed to the Naval Hospital shortly after their arrival, but no commu nication was permitted between the hospital and the Royalist. On the 14th ult. a naval court martial assembled on board the Royalist for the trial on the charge of insubor dination of Mr Roberts, Mr Filmer, and Mr Hobson, three young officers of that vessel. The members of court martial were Capt. Lambert, President, Capt. Kitson, Com. J. D'Arcy, Com. J. Shears. Capt. Pollard prosecuted. The charge of insubordination having been substantiated, Mr Roberts and Mr Hobson were sentenced to two years' im prisonment each, and 90 days in each year to solitary con finement, and Mr Filmer to one year's imprisonment, and all three to be dismissed the service with disgrace. They remained in the General Penitentiary at Kingston, awaiting the sailing of the vessel which is to convey them home, where they will undergo their respective sentences. The Cygnet was also at Jamaica. The Pylades and Greyhound were at Barbadoes on the 21st ult. The Chameleon, Capt. Jones, left Vancouver's Island in the latter part of April for the Mexican coast, and was to proceed thtnee to Pa nama to relieve the Devastation, Capt. Pike. The Tribune, Capt. Lord Gifford, which lett Panama on the 25th of February, and sailed the whole way, arrived at Esquimalt about the middle of April. The flagship Sutlej, which sailed from Callao in Jan., was expected there daily, after a cruise round the Polynesian Islands. The Edinburgh, 60, 200 horse power, Capt. C. F. Schorr berg, late Coastguard ship at Queensferry, Leith, has re turned her guns, shot, shell, and other War Department stores into the Ordnance stores at Chatham, and is now being dismantled preparatory to being placed in the Medway Steam Reserve. This fine vessel will, it is understood, be sold cut of the navy, as although she is perfectly sound, she is not altogether adapted for the present requirements of the service. The Edinburgh is relieved at Leith by the Trafalgar, 70, 500 horse power. The following appointments were made on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Wm. H. Heaton to the Implacable —Lieut. J. M. Morris to the St. George—E. C. St. John, midshipman, to the Warrior—W. H. Henderson, midship.. man, to the Prince Consort—R. F. Ward, midshipman, to the Hector—H. J. J.

Some dismounted men of the 16th Lancers are expected at Colchester to-morrow, and will take possession of the new cavalry barracks ; the remainder of the regiment will arrive on Saturday. The head-quarters of the regiment will be stationed at Colchester, and detachments of two troops each will be sent to Ipswich and Norwich until the completion of the new Colchester barracks. In accordance with instructions received from the War-office a board of officers under the presidency of Col. Farren, C. 8., 4th depot battalion, has assembled at Colchester camp to select a site for the erection of quarters for married soldiers. As a large number of men who enlisted at the commencement of the Crimean war for 10 years' service have been recently dis charged, recruiting has been commenced at the camp at Colchester as well as at other stations. The English Government has been greatly weakened by its share in the Danish transactions, and perhaps the country has, for the time, lost credit and popularity in Europe. Hereafter, when the history of the negotiations is dispas. Sionately reviewed, the charges against English policy will reduce themselves to a certain number of errors of taste or style in the language of the Foreign Minister's despatches, and in one or two of Lord Palmerston's speeches. The Danes would have refused compliance with the German demands even if they had received no encouragement from England; and, on the other hand, the con cessions which they are supposed to have made under English influence were dictated by the plainest considerations of prudence. As they would have been wiser if they had evacuated Schleswig without fighting, it is idle to complain that they were prevented from defending Holstein. Although the season which is most favourable for naval operations may be wasting away during the suspension of hostilities, the re-establishment of the blockade of certain ports and the capture of a few German merchantmen would be expensive advan tages. It Austria and Prussia find themselves un able to resist the Danes at sea, they will merely tighten their pressure on the land which they occupy or overrun. Sooner or later compensation will be exacted for every maritime capture and for every commercial loss which may result from the closing of German ports. The weaker belligerent derives no real profit from any isolated advantage which he may obtain, for the war must at some time be terminated by a pacification in which the conqueror will dictate the conditions. The fi rst loss is the lightest, although the adviser w ho recom mends early submission is always exposed to misin terpretation and odium. No great sagacity is re quired to foresee that, if a three months' war released Austria and Prussia from their obligations under the treaty, the expenditure of a few more millions of dollars, and of some thousands of lives, would be urged as a reason for extorting an addi tional equivalent in territory. The Danes complain with justice that the hostile occupation of Schles• or t w h i e g e l nables e the f e t n b e e re p y o p t u o i a n t ifloune,nc but o Th the e f r e u e p l i t n u g r s e of the armistice will have no tendency to expel the Prussians from the peninsula, and it will enable them once more to impose contiihutions on the un fortunate inhabitants of Jutland. If the conference breaks up without accomplish ing its purpose, both Germany and Denmark will perhaps find a certain satisfaction in the formid able onslaught to which the English Government will be exposed. Lord Russell may, in a certain sense, fairly claim the negative merit which he once attributed to Lord Palmerston, of not being the Minister or the favourite of any foreign court. try. In the present dispute he has bitterly offended the whole German nation, and he has disappointed the sanguine confidenee of the Danes. There are, perhaps, half a d ozen members of = the House of Commons, and a somewhat larger number of Peers, Now ready, at all the Libraries, in Three Vols., SECOND EDITION of BARBARA'S HISTORY.

Lord Grey would have declared war against Austria and Prussia as soon as they crossed the Eider. But Mr. Disraeli, agreeing in this matter with the great majority in both Houses of Parliament, would, in substance, have done what the Government has done; and it he had been in office he would have become un popular whe❑ he failed to prevent the cccurrence of vexatious events. The restoration of peace on tolerable conditions might possibly tend to re establish the credit of the present Ministry; but fresh outbreak of war would produce animated debates, and the result would perhaps depend rather on feeling than on argument. If Mr. Dis raeli is forced to construct, for controversial pur poses, an alternative policy which might hypo thetically have been adopted, he must go back to the French Emperor's proposal of a Congress, and condemn the refusal of the offer. Parliament, however, views with jealousy any display of deference to France, and no party seriously believes that the Congress could have settled the Danish quarrel. The vindication of the Government consists in the certainty that friendly counsels were useless, and in the well-founded opinion that the country, if it could have been consulted, would have summarily rejected any project of active interference. It is possible, however, that the House of Commons may vent its displeasure on the Government, were it only for the same reasons which induce an uneasy sleeper to turn over on the other side. As long as the cause of disturbance remains there is little hope of comfortable repose, out a change brings a kind of tempor, ry novelty. SPORTING NOTES. The Ascot Meeting, in point of the number of races and the attendance of fashionable visitors, was the most success ful ever held—the only mar to its brilliancy being the unfortunate railway accident at Egham. No doubt the terrible calamity will be found to have arisen from some of the servants of the company having neglected to pay atten tion to the signals. For years the London and South- Western Railway Company have enjoyed the confidence of the public in safety of travelling and rapidity of transit, and it is impossible to suppose that on so important an occasion as the Ascot Meeting there could have been any relaxation on the part of the officials in providing for the safety of the many thousands who invariably avail themselves of the faeilities offered by this company. On the Derby Day they conveyed on their line nearly 100,000 passengers, all of whom arrived at Epsom without the slightest delay and with the most commendable punctuality, and this large number were also safely brought back to London in the evening. The first day's proceedings at Ascot opened with the Trial Stakes, and the dozen entered all put in an appear ance, among them Auditor, a very big, fine looking colt of Lord Westmoreland's, who, with the redoubted Catch-'em- Alive, in addition to Man-at-Arms and The Gillie—William Day started the whole fleet—made a race of it, the young one winning cleverly by a length. The promenade before the Queen's Vase within the Royal inclosure is always a pretty sight, and the 12 competitors, as they passed in re view order, Sam Rogers on Sea King leading the van, with Claremont, Little Stag, Caller Ou, and Birch Broom follow ing in his wake, it seemed difficult to find the winner from a lot of such good looking ones. Soon after the flag fell Little Stag, always a puller, overpowered Carroll, and rush ing to the front made the running at such a pace that ho was pumped before reaching the stand, leaving Fairwater with the lead, which the old mare had soon to resign to Young Rapid, who rather unexpectedly landed the trophy for Alr Craven by a length. The Gold Vase is of course nothing of the sort, but a handsome centrepiece of silver— the subject, " Neptune creating the horse," and comes from the atelier of the Garrards'. The Maiden Plate, for which Birch Broom made his debut last year, brought together the usual large field, and was chiefly remarkable fora fine piece of riding on the part of Custance, and for the unlucky Shrapnel' again running second for the third or fourth time, we forget which. The Count's colt appeared last at the stand; but his energetic jockey call:id on him, and by dint of riding and his own gameness, King Charming got his neck in front of Shrapnell at the fiaish. There was nothing very particular about the winner, Andes (a colt of Captain Gray's, who has been backed for the Dolby) being about the best-looking of the lot. The Stand Plate was won by Le Bearnais (a promising young one from the French b table), defeating all the top weights easily. The Ascot Stakes tor the last two or time years has been a bed race in every respect—a bad acceptance, and a biAl betting one, and this occasion was nu exception to the rule. The lot was an indifferent one, and the little speculation there was had made Hippolyta the first favourite, a post which, though she was temporarily deposed, she held when the flag tell, and justified her backers' confidence by winning in a canter, all the other pseudo-favourites being nowhere in the race. Baldwin broke down. It must be considered a bold measure of Count de Lagrange, his bringing Fills de l'Air over to run for the Prince of Wales's Stakes. It looks as if he was determined she should show what an uncertain lady she is ; but then there was every excuse for her here, as she must be stale from her recent running. Ely certainly surprised us by his easy win,andAnight of Snow den was never in the race, uhich makes his Epsom " place" inexplicable. There was a rash to get on Lid dington for the Seventh Biennial, but only evens could be obtained. He won with nothing to spare, by a neck, and if we look at Gardevisure's position, who finished four lengths behind the second horse, we must consider him as a pretty good one, Not that it much matters if ho is not, He will hold his own in the market, doubtless, seeing what stable he is in, and if he is beaten will probably become a warmer favourite than ever. The Ranger showed some old form in the Triennial by defeating Blue Mantle and King of the Vale cleverly. The Royal party took their departure soon after the Biennial was decided, and were loudly cheered as they passed down the coarse. The racing on Wednesday was of the same abundant character as on Tuesday, and equally good in quality. Jessie defeated the favourites easily in the Visitors' Plate, but found an unexpected competitor in Oldminster, whom Aldcroft brought with such a rush in the last few strides, that the mare only landed by half a length. Of course Breeze carried off the Coronation Stakes as she liked ; and in the Ascot Derby, Peon, a great, ungainly-looking brute, managed to defeat the Calista colt—upon whom he waited to the stand, by a head. The Hunt Cup is of course the one great event of the Ascot Wednesd a y , and absor bs 34 the speculation going. There was the usual large o eld ha , sed o afl sporting silk for the trophy, whic h consists f s ilver tazza, surmounted by a gro u p of sta g s, and h as a very elegant and at the same time simple effect. The race was distinguished for the effect the hill seemed to have upon many of the horses, Amelia (despite her bottle of whisky), Saccharometer, Clairvoyants, Odine, and others, shutting up before they had gone half way up it, which left the Baron's mare apparently in possession of the field. Gem of t h e sea, however, with Crisis, headed her at the enclosure, and the two raced home, both so much distressed as to swerve against each other more than once, which led to an objection being made by Mr. Merry against the winner, on t h e ground of foul riding on Grimshaves part. The stewards, however, decided in favour of Mr. Longfield's horse. It was a surprise —but then. the Hunt Cup gene rally is : last year, by the way, was an exception, when the favourite (Victor) won. There was nothing else in the race besides the above two, Evelina finishing a bad third, and a number pulled up and did not pass the post. Attraction showed her turn of speed for half a mile in the F e rn Hill Stakes, which she carried off very easily. The Twelfth Triennial brought out a very handsome Trumpeter in the Duke of Beaufort's Koenig, who came with such a private reputation in addition to his good looks that they laid 7 to 4 on him. But "public form" would not be denied, for Tennyson shook off his horses at the stand, and won very easily. Baragah and Hollyfox made a match of it in the Sixth Biennial, the former winning cleverly, and set ting Mr. Valentine's mind at rest, we presume, as to which is the best of the two. On Thursday the Prince of Wales again honoured the meeting with hir presence. The 100 sous Plate brought a large field. La Mechante, the favou rite, did not show at all forwardly in the race, which was left to the three placed ; Lord Westmoreland's colt coming with a rush at the last, but failed to reach the leaders, Lemonade winning winning rather cleverly. ids, Merry is certainly always fortunate in his olio; Y t 'e h a e r. betting appears to have two wno will figure of a third, the through the year ; and rumour sp Phemy colt, as being better than eaankyystheinnnmiaol,f his that Zambosi has been out yet. In the Second New won very easily, Koenig alone near him. He is a fine-look " "the Wizard," who was; in; colt, and particularly pleased Keen again ofi sran hecund. sitting near us at the finish. Knight of Snowden gave another proof 1 i roguery by again cutting it when co llared by Hark Forward in the 50 so y a Sweepstakes, the la tter being considered very mod erate at home and his w innin g a surprise. The clouds had been threatening all the afternoon, and a smart shower fell about four o'clock, but it held tip as the time for the Cup drew near, and the rest of the day was fine. Contrary to expec tations, nine were telegraphed for the event, Molly Carew (one of the uncoloured ones) being added to the list. The absentees were the Clown and Jack of Hearts. Here was the customary promenade in the Royal enclosure, Sam Rogers on Lord Zetland leading the way in; he looked a picture of condition, but rather too stale for the severe ee - % ;11 g . 4 4- %, - 54,- at s work before him.

Still he had the same look he bore at Newmarket, when be ran for the Claret—that of abave himself, and carried too much flesh to inspire any great degree of confidence. In fact, we suspect Little Stag car ried the money. Tile Chief did not condescend to makehis bow to Royalty, but went quietly down to the post and took his canter. He moved, we thought, somewhat stiffly, as he remembered his previous race, but he looked as well as horse could, and there was no superfine us flesh about him. We were terribly behindhand as to time now, and there seemed no wish to make it bettor, for the jockeys dawdlest about the course, and it was some time before Mr INl4George got them in order. This done they were soon dispatched. Alabama took up the running with Wingrave and Little Stag in attendance, Lord Clitden again being the last oil; some way in the rear Little Stag requires a man on him, not a boy ; he soon overpowered young, Grimshaw, and rushed to the front, making the pace hot down the Swinley bottom, the Leger victor still in the rear; in fact the latter was never in the race from the moment the flig felt. The Chief lay wel; with his horses, and coming r,Aind the turn into the straight went up to Little Stag, who was still lead ing, easily shook off his horses, and went a winner by some half-dozen lengths. There was of course the usual cheer ing, but not the scene of excitement witnessed last year en the occasion of the ever-memorable dead heat. Still Mr Merry's success was hailed with general pleasure, and his absence through a domestic calamity generally deplored. The Grand Stand was not nearly half filled on Friday. The first race set for decision was a plate of 100 sous, which Stanton, under waiting orders, put to his owner's credit in an easy fashion. The First and Second-class Wokinghams are generally good handicaps. The first of them was pro ductive of a fine race between Durham and Olivia, the favourite Lobelia running jady; and the second Walloon carried off easily, nothing else being in the race—so the fielders began the day well. The interesting race of the day was the meeting of Ely and the Derby victor in the Eleventh Triennial, for which the former had slightly the call at the close. Blair Athol certainly Ibokod rather jaded, and as if he did not half like his work; while Ely, with a freo bounding action, caused his backers to be rather confident. He cut it, though, when Custance called upon him, and Blair Athol won without being asked. He looked lighter than he did at Epsom, for whidh the work he has gone through lately is a sufficient reason. A great look both of sire and clam has the Derby hero, and he will in all probability grow into a magnificent animal. The nbw stake, the Alexandra Plate, was another great turn for the fielders, as Anglo-Saxon was overlooked by most of the clever ones—one noble lord alone being cute enough to back him for " a century" at 25 to 1. Crisis was greatly fancied by the public and she ran well, but Anglo-Saxon won in hollow style at labt. There was an unusual large number of entries for the Queen's Plate, but the runners were reduced to three, Caller Ou, Gibral tar, and Guerilla. It was 6 to 4on the mare, but still many fancied that old Gibraltar could both outstay and outpace her. Custance acted up to this sug gestion and made strong running with Gib along the Swin ley bottom; but,Challoner brought the mare up soon after passing the road, and heading Gibraltar before they reached the stand, went in a very easy winner. Gibraltar pulled up very lame and seemed much distressed. The other two events were of minor importance. There are two meetings this week, namely, Newton-le- Willows and Hampton. For the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes either Alabama or Welcome should be successful, and Fontenoy or Blithfield for the Newton Handicap. A FRESH MAN. Public Address to Mr. and Mrs, C. Kean. (From the Melbourne Argus 01 April 25.) An address from the citizens of Melbourne Was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean on Satur day. The presentation took place in the council chamber of the Town-hall, which was filled on the occasion with ladies and gentlemen. About half past one o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Kean entered the apartment, amid the applause of those assembled, and were escorted to the dais by the Mayor, Mr. J. T. Smith. The address was presented by the Mayor, who observed that he regarded the pleasing office as one of the most gratifying incidents of his mayoralty. As a native of Australia, and knowing little be yond it, he was proud to have the honour of pre senting, on the 300th natal day of Eogland wondrous damatist—on a spot which, now the heart of a mighty city, was a quarter of a century ago primeval wilderness—a fitting compliment from hundreds of the citizens of Melbourne to the ablest of Shmltspal - e's interpreters. The Mayor then nail iha address as follows: "Mr and Mrs Charles lioan,—Wc are desirous before your departure from this colony to present a, congratulatory- address on the occasion of your visit to Australia, and we have selected the birthday of xkspere its the most wppropriate oppor•tunity for acknowledging the vast Ef..rvices you have rc Ddirect during your profi licks to the cause cf Eng h.nd's incomparkblc poet. Your visit to Victoria will loog be remembered by us as an important auct gratifying event, from which we have derived great intellectual enjoyment, having witnessed during your stay amongst us some of the most wonderful creations of Shakspere. portrayed in a manner which only the highest order of theatrical art can attain, In your retirement from that pro fession in which you have so honourably won respect and admiration, you will leave names of historic celebrity to mark your brilliant career ; and amongst the many recollections which that career will bring to your minds, we indulge the hope that not the least agreeable will be the remem brance of that period when, little more than a quarter of a century after the first habitation was built in Melbourne, you trod the boards of a theatre amidst the restless activity of a population busy in laying the foundations of its social, political, and moral institutions. The stage, as you have occupied it, is a powerful engine for elevating the moral tone of a people, and we feel sure of your kindly sym,. pathy for all that may conduce to its future and permanent prosperity, here as well as in England. To bath of you we present our warmest wishes for your success, and health, c.nd happiness." Mr. KEAN replied in the following terms:— "" Mr Mayor, Ladies, and Gentlemen,—There is 'no honour that you could have conferred upon Mrs Kean and myself more gratifying to our feelings than thus to asso ciate our names with the commemoration of a day that in golden letters should be set among the high tides of the calendar.' Apart from my intense admiration for the genius of Shakspere, I have good cause to reverence the memory of the greatest of poets, whose fame is unapproachable and imperishable, for as a representative of his marvellous creations 1 have gained all I possess in the world. What ever fortune I have acquired has been won in his service, and if spared to fulfil my intention, I shall be thereby enabled to leave my profession at an earlier period of life than any of my celebrated predecessors. While science reveals the wonders of the mate rial world—diving into the ocean, penetrating the earth and searing upward to ' the majestical roof fretted with golden fire,'—Shakepere has disclosed to our view the workings of the human heart, with all its changing passions and humours, its joys and griefs, its strength and weak ness. Every spring of action, every impulse, every emotion, every sensation of feeling, was known to him. Whatever may be his blemishes, they are but as the spots upon the bright and glorious sun, and do not dim its lustre. his greatness was his own—his faults wer e those of the age in which he lived. (Applause.) The stud y of Shakspere is the study of philosophy and wisdom ; I rejoice, therefore, to hear of the scholarship about to be instituted in the Melbourne University ; such a measure cannot fail (Applause.) pp acceptlau) our moat in due course of time to be of great public benefit, provided it be strictl y and exclusively confined to the author whos e name it bears, and in. whose pages th e student will find t he richest materi a l s o f t h oug ht and principles of knowledge , m d o l e , Ladies and Gentlemen,—l beg you cor dial and heartfelt thanks for your hind wishes ses ' an me also assure you that in our reti rement from the toils t a nd cares of public life we shall remember with pride the gratifying expression of your good opinion, as conveyed in the address with whi c h you have this day honoured us." The address and the signatures (between 400 and 500 in number) occupy several sheets of vellum. The address itself, appropriately enough, is enclosed within a sketch o f a proscenium, which b ears t h ree ionmedall portraits of Shakspere, and the names of his works. Among the first signatures are those of th.j Commander of her Alsjesty's forces in Aug. tralia (11:4;adier-Cloneral Chute), the Ministry, ar i d members of both Houses of Parham°Pt. H a ihway's o:ntracut and Pin [ A MERTISEMENT.] Old Sores, Wounds, and Ulccrs.—lt is surprising how quickly any sore, ulcer, or wound drains away the body's strength, and unfits it for the duties of life but it is no less wonderful to watch how these topical afflictions improve on the application of Holloway's healing ointment. It has achieved the surest and most glorious triumph over bad legs, foul ulcerations, and knotted veins, whicb had confounded the faculty. and well ni g h worn out their vic tims. It creates sound flesh, and therefore makes its cures complete. When this ointment is properly applied, and assisted by appropriate doses of the pills, the Pain, in flammation, and other morbid manifestations soon disap pear from the affected part, and health and strength re turn. , , 7 /4e -------- e,..1..-,c-.
